Special legal office for expatriate Dominicans

The District Attorney announced it has opened a temporary office where Dominicans who reside abroad can come for free legal advice. Francisco Domínguez Brito said the office was opened to reduce the number of returning Dominicans who become victims of bad legal advice. Thousands of Dominicans who live abroad traditionally come home for Christmas. The new office, Oficina de Orientación Judicial Ciudadana will be open from 1 December to 10 January. It is located at Door 55, of the third floor of the Palacio de Justicia in Ciudad Nueva. For more information, call Tel. 221-6400, ext. 2210 and 2301.
